Tramp (the Original Version) Lyrics - Salt N Pepa

Home girls, attention you must pay 

So listen close to what I say 

Don't take this a simple rhyme 

'Cause this type of thing happens all the time 

Now what would you do if a stranger said hi? 

Would you dis him or would you reply? 

If you answer there is a chance 

That you'd become a victim of circumstance 

Am I right, fellas? Tell the truth 

Or else I'm-a have to show and prove 

You are what you are, I am what I am 

It just so happens that most men are 

Tramp (What'd ya call me?) 

Have you ever seen a dude who's stupid and rude? 

Whenever he's around he dogs your mood 

I know a guy like that, girl 

He thinks he's God's gift to the world 

You know that kind, excited all the time 

With nothing but sex on the mind 

I'm no stunt, on me he can't front 

I know the real deal, I know what they want 

It's me (Why?) Because I'm so sexy 

It's me (What?) Don't touch my body! (Boy!) 

'Cause you see I ain't no skeezer 

But on a real tip I think he's a 

Tramp (What'd ya call me?) 

On the first date he thought I was a dummy 

He had the nerve to tell me he loved me 

But of course, I knew it was a lie, y'all 

He undressed me with his eyeballs 

Trying to change the whole subject 

'Cause everything he said pertained to sex 

So I dissed him, I said, "You's a sucker! 

Get your dirty mind out the gutter 

You ain't gettin' paid, you ain't knockin' boots 

You ain't treating me like no prostitute" 

Then I walked away, he called me a teaser 

You're on a mission, kid yo, he's a 

Tramp (What'd ya call me?) 

Tramp
